THEY'VE DONE IT: Doncaster Rovers promoted to League One after 1-0 win over Mansfield Town

Doncaster Rovers are heading back to League One after securing promotion with victory over near-neighbours Mansfield Town.

Tommy Rowe's second half header broke the deadlock in a tight game and was enough to earn Rovers a quick exit from the bottom tier.

Doncaster Rovers v Mansfield Town

It had been a slog of a game for Rovers against stubborn Mansfield.

While scorelines elsewhere suggested they would be heading up regardless, some nerves remained among a bumper crowd at the Keepmoat.

But they were settled in the 74th minute when Rowe powered home a header.

The final whistle brought a pitch invasion as celebrations began.

Darren Ferguson had kept faith with the side which thrashed Grimsby Town the previous week.

Rovers arguably should have been in front just six minutes in. Gary McSheffrey swung in a dangerous free kick and John Marquis flicked a header on goal but straight at Jake Kean.

The Mansfield keeper had to scramble back to prevent Ian Lawlor's goal kick from rolling through to Andy Williams.

With Rovers struggling for fluidity, they switched from a 4-4-2 diamond to a 3-4-1-2 with Niall Mason moving into midfield and McSheffrey sitting off the two strikers.

They did begin to see more of the ball but struggled to craft much of real note in the opposition half.

Rovers should have edged in front just after the half hour mark however. Luke McCullough slid a pass into Tommy Rowe who took far too long to get his shot away and saw it charged down with the ball eventually scrambled clear.
